Question

Lead has a density of 11.3 g/mL. If you have 105 grams of lead,

what is the volume in milliliters?
Remember to select an answer with the correct number of
significant figures.

Answer 1

Volume = 9.29 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Density of a substance can be found by using the formula

`Density( \rho) = (mass)/(volume)`

From the question

Density = 11.3 g/mL

mass = 105 g

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the volume

That's

`11.3 = (105)/(v)`

Cross multiply

11.3v = 105

Divide both sides by 11.3

`v = (105)/(11.3)`

v = 9.29203

We have the final answer as

Volume = 9.29 mL

Hope this helps you
